Verse:
B
I'd go down to the Strip tonight
I'm not on a stay-home trip tonight
Long hair seems to be the main attraction
But the heat is causing all the action
Pre-chorus:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/standells/riot_on_sunset_strip_crd.html ]AmGAmC
Bright lights everywhere
F#GAmC
Pretty girls with long blonde hair
F#GAmCGF#
But somehow the people they don't care
Chorus:
BD#m/A#G#
It just doesn't seem fair
BD#m/A#G#
To bug you 'cause you got long hair
BD#m/A#G#F#
Even the parents are beginning to stare
Post-chorus:
B [continue with intro riff]
Because of the sirens on our streets
They used to be neat
But now it's just a place for black and white cars to race
It's causin' a riot
It's causin' a riot, yeah
[guitar solo over intro riff, 8X]
[repeat pre-chorus]
[repeat chorus]
[repeat post-chorus]
Coda [ranted over intro riff]:
It's causin' a riot
It's causin' a riot, everywhere
People runnin' around, riots everywhere
Pushin', pushin', pushin' everywhere [fade]
